Those houses don't come cheap. Marcus Larose, a real estate agent with Sandhills Rentals, said it can cost an average of $10,000 to rent a home in the Pinehurst area for the week of the US Open. One five-bedroom home in Pinehurst is going for $100,000 for both weeks.

Larose said rentals during the week of the US Women's Open are going for $2,000 to $3,000.
